rMpRovnn scoop.

` To all 'whom it concern l Be it known thatV I, WILLIAM CHAINE, of South Brookfield, in the county of Madison, and State oi' New York, have invented certain new and nsefulImprovements in Vooden Scoops,-and in connecting the blade with the handle, whether of wood or metal; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and' to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this speciication, and in whichl Figure 1 represents a perspective View of my removable scoop, and

Figure 2, a longitudinal section of the same.

Similar-letters indicate like' parts in both figures.

My invention relates to improvements in scoops; and, t0 this end, l

It consists in the construction of a mortised shoulder, with a removable scoop, whereby the scoop may,

D is the scoop, which may be made of wood or metal. This scoop-is made to lit in the mortise O, and is retained in its place by the screw, b.

rlhe vadvantages which .I claim over the ordinary scoop are as follows:

First, when my scoop becomes worn out or injured, another may be inserted in the handle, at much less cost than a new one; and,

Second, scoops of various sizes, by my` mode of con struction, are made to it one .and the same handle. So, at a very triing expense, compared with that which would be incurred in buying several of the ordinary scoops, I can furnish the various sizes with one handle.

Having thus fully described my invention, l

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Providing the handle A with mortise-shoulders, B C, and so constructing the scoop that it may be. attachable to and detachable from the handle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth..

In testiinonythat I claim the foregoing as my own, I aix my signature,- in .presence of two witnesses.
